RETIRMENT associations and various academic research institutions focusing on aging have found that 30 to 40 percent of retirees experience boredom. Applying this statistic, approximately 4.5 million Filipino retirees may be bored.
The average years in retirement in the Philippines can vary, generally ranging from about 15 to 30 years — too long a period to get bored!Boredom is the feeling of having nothing interesting to do, accompanied by disinterest or a lack of engagement. It often arises when someone feels they have nothing meaningful to occupy their time. It certainly lowers the quality of life, negatively impacts physical and mental health, and can lead to unhappiness.
For instance, if you decide to learn how to grill and burn your first piece of meat, don't get frustrated — celebrate! You have just mastered the art of 'smoked' meat and taken your first lesson in grilling. If you decide to play golf, be patient and just be ready to donate your lost balls to the course. When excitement wanes, explore something new again to reignite your joy. The possibilities are endless.
